Chapter 1413 Featured Livestream Function

Hu Xianbin explained while driving, "The direct-drive steering wheel can operate on its own by reading in-game data, but the pedals and gears can't, so they can only be displayed on the screen."

"At the same time, to ensure safety, we will require watching players not to place their hands on the steering wheel. If the steering wheel senses external force, it will automatically exit the viewing mode to prevent the direct-drive steering wheel from rotating rapidly and injuring the player's hands."

"In short, through this built-in livestream function, players can see how the masters steer and how they use the brakes and accelerator on their own devices. These recordings can even be taken back and studied repeatedly."

Ye Zhizhou nodded. "Yes, that's good enough. We can slowly optimize it later."

For a long time, the most troubling thing for racing game players has been the high learning cost.

Many people want to learn to drift, but how exactly do you drift?

It sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to do.

Although there are many video tutorials online that explain the principles of drifting and the movements of the hands and feet, most people can understand it when they see it, but fail when they try to learn it.

Not to mention visually estimating the distance to the apex for drifting, they can't even drift a fixed circle in a fixed location.

In addition to the poor driving fundamentals, another important reason is that it's not intuitive enough!

In the masters' drifting recordings, you can only see them turning the steering wheel like crazy, even letting go and letting the steering wheel automatically return before grabbing it again, and then drifting through with a smooth series of operations.

After watching, you just shout "Awesome!", but when you think about it carefully, how did the master operate? You didn't remember any of it.

Because the screen in the video itself is small, and the master's hand movements will obstruct the steering wheel, if you want to see the game screen, you can't see the hand movements clearly, and if you want to see the hand movements, you can't see the actual screen. It's difficult to combine the two.

Some people put the steering wheel rotation data on the screen, but it's still the same problem, you can't see it clearly!

Moreover, most of these videos are also videos of running on the track, and the operations are different for each turn.

The masters can distinguish which method to use for each turn, but novices will only be confused and don't know where to start learning.

So, after Ye Zhizhou discussed it with Hu Xianbin, they decided to link up with Tuwei Livestream and build a livestream system!

It can also be said to be a remote teaching system.

In fact, this livestream system is similar in principle to the viewing system of gog, which combines the livestream software and the game and opens up deep data.

In this way, the streamer operates the steering wheel on their computer, and the audience's steering wheel will also rotate on its own.

There is a return-to-center mark on the steering wheel, and it is close and clearly visible, so you can see the subtle changes of the steering wheel in great detail, and you can see exactly how many turns you have made.

Its biggest advantage is that it is intuitive!

The streamer can start a tutorial, and after all the viewers are in place, drift a fixed circle on the track to show the specific operation.

Viewers can jump out of the frame of the small screen, watch the game screen, observe the rotation of the steering wheel, and feel the feeling brought by the g-force seat.

This all-round learning method is far more intuitive than staring at the small screen to watch the streamer's hand movements.

Moreover, this teaching system is not only able to teach high-end racing skills such as drifting, but its applicability is very strong.

From how to take each corner and how to improve lap times in some track races and rally races, to how to operate reverse parking in subject two, it can all be taught!

As long as there are enough streamers on Tuwei Livestream, they will naturally seek differentiation and teach different content.

At that time, as long as players buy a steering wheel, they can go to Tuwei Livestream to find the teaching content they need and learn slowly.

Although driving itself is still a matter of high learning costs, requiring boring practice and unremitting persistence, with such a convenient learning method and different levels of gameplay in the game, players should be able to get smoother and smoother after passing the initial driving test.

This is different from other racing games.

Other racing games may be easy to get started at the beginning. After a little adaptation to the operations of braking, accelerating, and steering, you can drive fast, but the more you play, the more the fun is diluted, and the more you play, the more boring it becomes.

This is a huge difference between *Safe and Civilized Driving* and other racing games.

Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied. "Yes, very good, this is the function I need!"

"I'll arrange it when I get back and update *Safe and Civilized Driving* with built-in Tuwei Livestream as soon as possible so that players can enjoy this function as soon as possible."

Hu Xianbin asked, "How is *Safe and Civilized Driving* doing after its release?"

Ye Zhizhou smiled. "It's all within my expectations."

"Because I used the promotion plan passed down by President Pei, it caused some controversy in the early stage. I saw that many people on the Internet were arguing about the results of the Passat collision."

"But it doesn't matter, our data is all taken from IIHS, and we have also adjusted these vehicles according to the IIHS collision results. When the IIHS collision results come out, the truth will naturally come to light."

"*Safe and Civilized Driving* itself is of good enough quality, there is no doubt about that."

Hu Xianbin took out his mobile phone and looked at the date. "But when will IIHS release the collision results? I remember it seems that it will be released as early as next Monday, right? Is it really okay to be scolded for so long?"

Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "It's okay."

"The more fiercely everyone scolds now, the more violent the reversal will be when the results come out."

"What's more, *Safe and Civilized Driving* is just a game after all. While fans of Dazhong will hold on to this point, most other players will not give it a bad review or refund because of this. They still value the gameplay content more."

"In other words, as a game, *Safe and Civilized Driving* comes with a shield when it is being criticized, and comes with an amplifier when it is being praised!"

"These current low scores and bad reviews are all small troubles. I've been in Tenda Games for so long, what big storms haven't I seen? Back then, *Game Producer*, *Turning Back is the Shore*, and *Struggle*, which one wasn't scolded more fiercely than now? In the end, everyone still obediently gave a 'zhenxiang'." (True fragrance, meaning to initially dislike something but then come to love it)

Hu Xianbin nodded. "That's right, then let's wait patiently!"

...

At the same time, the Inspiration Class for authors on Qidian Chinese Website.

As soon as Cui Geng appeared, he was surrounded by authors.

"Teacher Cui is here!"

"Brother Cui, you're amazing! How did you know about the elections in Ukraia?"

"Please share your experience quickly, how can you write a work suitable for copyright adaptation?"

Since the adaptation plan of *The Successor* was put on the agenda, Cui Geng began to slack off, and he slacked off to his heart's content.

Even after *The Successor* was released, he still stayed in the nearby Moyu Internet cafe every day, having a great time.

Of course, his playing, apart from being lazy and not wanting to start a new book, also had a sense of avoidance.

Because the reputation of *The Successor* after its release was indeed not very good!

Seeing that the number of views of this series was not going up, the score was not going up, and there were many people on the Internet scolding it, especially the group headed by Qian, who scolded it the most fiercely, making Cui Geng, the original author, a little doubtful about this story.

As the original author, he couldn't personally go into battle, so he could only hold back, so that his mood was quite unhappy for a while.

But what he never expected was that the election results in Ukraia, thousands of miles away, turned the tables for *The Successor*!

Many people on the Internet were scolding Cui Geng as a "pigeon spirit" in the first second, and turned into "Teacher Cui" in the next second. It couldn't be more real.

Qian's leading apology even set off a wave of apologies, which even made Cui Geng a little embarrassed.

*The Successor*'s score skyrocketed, and it reaped both word-of-mouth and viewership. It can be seen that Feihuang Studio should also be able to make money on this series, and Cui Geng was relieved.

After all, if this series failed, it would definitely not be the fault of Feihuang Studio, it would definitely be the fault of him, the original author.

If other works were adapted unsuccessfully, he could blame the director for not shooting well, the screenwriter for losing the essence of the original work, or the investors for forcibly intervening in the script, and the original author could clear himself completely.

But *The Successor* was different. Feihuang Studio was completely faithful to the original work!

Things like the director not shooting well, the screenwriter messing around, and the investors interfering simply didn't exist!

Not only that, Feihuang Studio completely produced this series with super high standards. They not only went to the US to co-produce with foreign film companies, but also invited movie emperor-level actors such as Lu Zhiyao to play supporting roles in this series.

If this was messed up, it could only be said to be the fault of the original author.

At that time, everyone would say that the original work was so trash that even Feihuang Studio couldn't carry it!

Fortunately, everything has finally settled down.

So, Cui Geng finally felt relieved and came to the Inspiration Class, wondering if his new book could be officially started.

Of course, saying it was starting was actually just creating a new folder.

Now, Cui Geng didn't want to write a single word anywhere except in the Inspiration Class. Anyway, after arriving at the Moyu Internet cafe, he would uncontrollably open the game and couldn't control his hands at all.

Only in the environment of the Inspiration Class could he truly inspire inspiration and have ample motivation to create.

Obviously, these three copyright adaptation works had long become the focus of discussion among the authors in the Inspiration Class.

First, the great success of *Eternal Reincarnation* allowed the authors to see the bright prospects of copyright adaptation and was very exciting;

But then, the poor response to *The Successor*, which was about to fail, made all the authors a little worried, fearing that the failure of this project would dampen President Pei's enthusiasm for copyright adaptation, resulting in fewer adaptation opportunities for the Inspiration Class in the future;

Finally, the word-of-mouth of *The Successor* reversed, and *Agent Academy* also became a hot animated series on the Air Island website with its terrifying daily updates, and everything was settled!

The success of all three copyright adaptation projects made the authors in the Inspiration Class reach the peak of their admiration for President Pei!

Among the three projects, *The Successor* was obviously the most worrying and the most dramatic.

Although *Eternal Reincarnation* was also very successful, the author Yu Fei had now become the head of the Tenda Games department and had no time to come to the Inspiration Class.

Therefore, the authors could only learn from Cui Geng.
